New Administrative Capital Team : Dina Hatem Shams El Din Code: E-1186 The design Concept : Nature-Inspired School Biophilic design, or incorporating elements of nature into the learning environment, has been proven to have a positive influence on students’ well-being, as well as to boost productivity and academic achievement. This project covers the issue of insufficient spatial design support, which is part of the combined “COVID-19” pandemic, and sets the direction for the environmental improvement of school facilities. Aims to find the clues to creating an optimized environment for children in nature, which is a key factor that generally promotes children’s physical, cognitive, and social development. Using natural elements where children can enjoy various sensory experiences related to nature and provide design recommendations for other schools that may wish to incorporate biophilic elements into educational design. Concept Deformation This biophilic learning environment built up area 90-square-metere classroom, which was designed to illustrate how you can infuse your learning spaces with nature. Within the classroom, three distinct zones support different modes of learning, with mobility and flexibility being key. The materials within each zone were carefully chosen to encourage focus, learning, and well-being by mimicking natural environments and making connections to the natura...

Location : Al Alamian New City (Alexandria - Egypt) Team : Associate Prof. Riham Nady Faragallah - Dr. Pakinam Mohamed Nabil Taghreed Mohamed Mohamed - Mahmoud El Shawadfy El sayed - Nada Refaat Code: H1281 Design Concept : Merging modern technology with the project design elements (prefabricated containers). Project Components : The main building (administration and various services for students) - housing units for students (single - double - triple) - recreational areas for the housing units and other areas distributed in the site - horizontal circulation elements (pedestrian walkways) and vertical circulation elements (stairs and ramps) to facilitate the movement in site. Project Features: The "Contech" project is located in El Alamein New City (Alexandria - Egypt) near the campus of El Alamein University at a distance of 121 m. The main concept of the project was inspired by searching for ways to eliminate the spread of the emerging Corona virus and reduce its negative effects. So, the combination of modern technology and architecture was the best solution through integrating innovative technologies (electricity circuits) and new architectural structures (containers). On one hand, the technological circuits of electricity connect the entire site together as a network that pumps life into containers and controls all aspects such as: infrastructure pipes, electricity wires, temperature sensors for all contai...

LOCATION : Western Desert – Egypt Architect : Anas Mohmed Taha Code : O-1191 : Planet X is a project that aims to provide touristic farms in which the main activity of the tenant would be land cultivation and animal breeding, together with recreational, entertaining, and connecting-with-nature activities. However, the most important goal of such communities is the absolute isolation from infection risks which will be done in a healthy environment that has its inhabitants communicating in a distant safe way. Location: The proposal assumes an isolated desert area which is yet close to the existing infrastructure as well as the agriculture-friendly water sources. It has been hypothesized that the eastern plateau of the western Egyptian desert which has been chosen by Dr. Elbaz is the most suitable place to begin with. There is already a road connecting this place (Fayoum Link Road), together with some other lateral axes on which the Development Passage is dependent. . Design: Separate hotel suites starting from the path to each suite. Each lodging has its own courtyard which is suitable for animal breeding, as well as overlooking a farm that is cultivated by the tenant for the sake of achieving sustainability. Irregular mo...
